Ocala woman dies after July 12 traffic accident

GAINESVILLE — An Ocala woman hospitalized after a traffic accident in Williston earlier this month died Wednesday morning of injuries sustained in the crash.

Virginia Anne Ortiz, 44, of 3240 SW 34th St., Ocala, died at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville, according to a news release from the Williston Police Department.

The accident occurred July 12 in the 600 block of Southeast Eighth Street in Williston. Ortiz was driving a 2005 pickup north on the street when it crossed over the southbound lanes and went into the grass median, according to the news release. The truck then went back across both lanes, traveled onto the shoulder, rolled over and struck a power pole. Police said the crash was still under investigation but speed appeared to be a contributing factor.
